But when I try to "cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg" it just sits there, with the capture file staying at 0 bytes in size.  I have tried removing the ivtv drivers/firmware from atrpms, and compiling from the ivtv source, using both 0.10.1 and 0.8.2, both with the same results.  I have also tried viewing video through mythtv, but it fails and returns to the menu, with a timeout error in the logs.

device might have moved to video1. Check if it's there or try testing 
/dev/video1
